The most popular baby names of 2023 so far have been revealed. The BabyCentre's annual mid-year top 100 charts offer a sneak peek at the current baby naming trends ahead of the final results at the end of the year.
And it seems mums and dads welcoming baby girls have opted for a bit of a shake-up, as last year's most popular name, Sophia, has been pushed off the top spot by Lily - which has increased in popularity after finishing in second at the end of 2022.
Interestingly, when BabyCentre released their half-year results last year, Lily was in the no.1 spot after having pushed Olivia off the top for the first time since 2015, but by the time the final list was published in December, Sophia had climbed from second to first. But now, it seems Lily is once again back on top, with Sophia now sitting in second, the Mirror reports.
